Exhaust, springs, spacers, sways, intake, test pipes, and some others for starters.

You could be the first one on the forum to beat me to buying the Fujimura Aero front bumper with Carbon Fiber accent.

Looks incredible, but the price is a staggering 2450$

I don't want to hijack this thread but IMHO this is the BEST front end for the 370z and I would LOVE if one of the replica guys picked up this front end...

I will have it on my car in the next 6 months, either way....

I agree that it looks porschey but it works for me. Funny you should mention zele. I'm thinking this front bumper with a zele rear would look amazing....

Exhaust without question. Intakes alter sound too.

Coil overs will let you lower the car, if you like that look.

Have fun.

$4k doesn't seem to go a long way with our car, this is the route I plan on going, although it will probably take me a while. The amount is how much I would be looking to spend.

Performance:
-Intake & Exhaust (at least $1.5k) & UpRev ($600)
-Brakes ($1.6k-$3k)
-Coilovers ($2k)
-Wheels ($2k-$3k)
-Tires ($1.2k)

Aesthetics:
-Varis kit ($2.5K)
